Player Discussion Marner

[leafs in five]

I would support trading Marner for the Kawhi in 2019 of the NHL

Not sure how anyone can justify giving this guy a raise. Even if he re-signs for his current contract, where exactly do we expect to go? He gets completely dominated in the playoffs, he can't create space, he makes panicked decisions, doesn't engage physically. How does management view this guy as one of "the" guys? He objectively isn't good enough in the playoffs (neither is Matthews) when you have guys like Hyman, Krejci, and Benn ahead of you in playoff scoring (since he has entered the league). It's sad really that we have so much tied up in these guys.

Not making a move doesn't mean they are scared it means they just don't agree that what you think should happen is the best way forward.

The reason they don't agree could be that they're scared.

Could be.

They quite also could be scared. I don't even think scared is the right word. But you do need to be bold to make a change. Especially with a fan favourite, or cornerstone of the franchise.

The only 3 options would really be Matthews, Nylander or Marner. Not sure JT or Rielly would make all that much of a difference.

Here is something they don't understand. Acccctuary. They may feel we paythis guy 10.9m but he brings in 17.7m and the presumed replacement will bring in 35% of that number and cost 70% of his cap.

Better off sticking with MM money wise. Winning does not matter.

Found his goalsong video, it was made last time he scored. I dig it!


Just joking , if he find more of a scoring touch we could go far. Matthews aint helping right now.

I agree it would be bold although with so many asking for a change the bold move may be to not make any move.

Obviously a trade isn't happening and walking from Nylander would have been the first change if that was in the plans.
Who was the last high end player in their prime that a Team let walk away? I'm sure it's happened but I can't think of one.

It's difficult to seperate fact from fiction when it comes to the Leafs. Apparantly the Leafs did ask around about Nylander and the return wasn't where they wanted it to be.

Who knows if they asked about Marner?


I can think of examplea in other sports of stars walking away and maybe JT or Petro would be the 2 biggest names I can think of but it doean't happen all that often.

I think with your examples the teams made offers and the player chose to walk.
